We are currently in round three of the competition. In this round, the top 3 student owned businesses from each community use feedback from Round 2 judges to make improvements to their businesses. Students hone their public speaking skills during this round by giving their pitch at community meetings and events.

🌈✨ Witnessing the magic of science! 🌈✨
Recently, Mrs. Myers's students embarked on an enchanting journey into the world of light waves and refraction. Through a captivating magic trick involving a vanishing coin, they explored the wonders of bending light and uncovering hidden secrets. But that's not all!
With the sun shining brightly and the weather on our side, they delved even deeper into the spectacle of nature. Using prisms to disperse light, they watched in awe as ordinary sunlight transformed into a breathtaking array of colors, painting the sky with vibrant rainbows. 🌞🌈
In a moment of discovery, one student astounded us all by mastering the art of refraction, successfully isolating the color red from the spectrum. Their keen eye and curiosity unlocked a world of possibilities, reminding us that true magic lies in the pursuit of knowledge. 🎩🔍
Experiencing the beauty of refraction firsthand, our students learned that magic isn't just in the tricks we perform, but also in the natural phenomena that surround us every day. Here's to embracing curiosity and uncovering the wonders of science! 📚🔍 #ScienceIsMagic #LearningThroughPlay #RainbowWonders #RoarANDSoar

Soon these partners look forward to introducing fifteen CNAs to our community!
